    Cool!

    I agree that we have far more important things to do, and I'm only
    playing around (I sort of see it as a change to get to know GEANT a
    bit better), and not really putting a lot of work into it.

    I'd like to get a copy of what you did so far - please. It'd be nice
    to get a fell of what is need beyond what I can tell. Just send me a
    attached tar-ball or whatever, put it somewhere on the pii's or RCF,
    it's entirely up to you. 
    
    Thanks,
